Synopsis
After Loris Ipanoff discovers that his wife, who committed suicide, was unfaithful, he kills her lover, army officer Vladimir Boroff, who is betrothed to Princess Fedora Romanoff. Without knowing Ipanoff's identity, Fedora follows his trail across Europe and then to New York, where they meet and fall in love. After Fedora, who earlier betrayed Ipanoff to the Czar's hired assassins, learns the reason he killed Boroff, she forgives him and cables to have Ipanoff's imprisoned mother and brother released. When Ipanoff, who swore to kill his informant, learns that it was Fedora, he starts to carry out his promise, but his servants stop him. Fedora, aware that the assassins will kill Loris once he leaves her rooms, sacrifices her honor to prevent him from leaving. Feeling remorseful, she drinks poison, but after word arrives that Ipanoff's mother and brother were released, he successfully resuscitates her.
